About India GK & General Science
General Awareness, made up of India GK and General Science, is not one exam but a subject that appears in almost every competitive exam in India: SSC CGL and CHSL, RRB NTPC and Group D, bank Mains, and state exams such as CET, Patwari and police recruitment.
It covers history, geography, polity, economy, static GK and school-level physics, chemistry and biology. The questions are short and factual, so a well-prepared student answers them quickly and saves time for maths and reasoning. One strong preparation serves exam after exam.

India GK & General Science syllabus
How to prepare: 5 practical tips
- Finish school-level science (classes 6 to 10) first; science questions repeat heavily in SSC and Railway exams.
- Solve previous-year GA questions subject-wise; facts such as articles, rivers and dynasties are asked again and again.
- Make one-page revision sheets for static topics and revise them every weekend.
- Attempt the GA section quickly and skip what you do not know, because of negative marking.
- Link news with static facts: when a place or scheme is in the news, revise its state, river or ministry.
